1. Carlo Sand Blow
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 647 reviews
Reviewed By lizziebeth75 - Wellington Point, Australia
An easy walk; some stairs (handy tip: take a water bottle) and then rewarded with spectacular views of the amazing sandblow. Kids: Take your boogie board if you want the thrill of riding down the sand dune. Great little adventure for families for an hour or two. Beautiful to watch the sunset if you’re timing is right (check sunset times)

After a short walk on the rocks from greens pool we got to overlook elephant rocks and omg the views are stunning!! It’s a great little spot to swim, snorkel or fish Spend the day here relaxing on the sand - take a picnic and just watch the waves If rocks aren’t your thing, there is a pathway from the car park to elephant rocks so can enjoy views that way too

absolutley beautiful natural wonder, full of amazing stinky local wildlife. the sea was so rough it was a spectacular site. if driving back in the dark or near dusk be aware of the abundance of nocturnal life that will be darting about the road. best to go in the day time unless you want a very slow and sometimes stressful drive home avoiding all the little critters.

We decided to tick this off our bucket list when we heard they were closing the climb. We had an excellent holiday doing the climb, nearby sunset camel ride with Ayers Rock view, we did the 11km base walk around Ayers Rock, the 7.4km hike through the Valley of the Winds and 2.4km return Walpa Gorge walk at the Olgas (Kata Tjuta). The climb itself was definitely the highlight of the trip and made it worthwhile. We did think it was reckless of parents to take children under 15 on the climb and that 50+ adults were allowed to climb it, as it was a huge challenge for a couple of fit 30 year olds. We'd hiked up mountains before, but this was the biggest challenge with a combination of climbing and hiking, requiring a lot of cardio fitness. We helped out others (by giving them some water) who stupidly decided to climb with kids without sufficient water, and a group of guys in their 20's who stupidly decided to climb with no water. They should keep the climb open but restrict it to reasonably fit (not significantly overweight) 15-50 year olds with ID and make it mandatory that they have at least 3L of water per person. With the climb closed, I can't recommend going there unless you're already driving around Australia. Also probably skip the Field of Lights, as though it is nice, it's not worth the money they're charging.

We travelled from Perth on 1 Jan - and were amazed & delighted at the extraordinary landscape - hundreds of limestone formations - looked like the moon or another planet. Australia is blessed with every conceivable wonderful variety of natural scenery - and this one is special!
6. Twelve Apostles
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,218 reviews
Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between.

Great views and photo opportunities. Busy place, big parking lot, many tourists visiting (and we were there on a quiet day with foul weather). So fight your way towards the edge of the viewing platforms, stand your ground between all the selfie sticks and photograph one of Australia's great coastal views. After all, they may not be there much longer.
7. Kata Tjuta - The Olgas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,261 reviews
Kata Tjuta is Pitjantjatjara meaning 'many heads'. This spectacular landform lies about 50 kilometres drive from Uluru and Yulara. This area is an Anangu men's site and is sacred under Tjukurpa (traditional law). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit this place but as with all areas of the park, please stay on the marked tracks. Take in the sunrise from the viewing platform or on a walking trail through Walpa Gorge or the Valley of the Winds.

Overall Ratings

Park that contains the remains of the longest flow of lava on earth, which has created a complex network of subterranean caves and passages.
Reviewed By MarkE20 - Whitianga, New Zealand
Great place set up by a local family station holders. Sealed road all the way off the highway. Great camping, caravan park and glamping tents available. Lots of wild life, the Lava Tubes are well worth a visit. There is a gift shop, restaurant and bar. We dined at the restaurant and the meals were fantastic. Great view from restaurant with outdoor wood fire on cold nights. Lots of other activities also, campfire sing songs, walks and hikes.
9. Wave Rock

Reviewed By 618grahamh - Auckland, New Zealand
Explore the fascinating Wave Rock with it's multitude of colours in the formation [at least several million years in the making] including Hippo's Yawn and climb the stairs for a spectacular view of Hyden and the surrounding desert - this is one rock that you can legally climb! You'll notice a dam at the far end by the stairs, water is extremely precious in this part of the world, but this one blends right in. Be prepared for a long day, 4 1/2 hours journey each way from Perth, but you'll get a chance to stop and buy a beverage or two to enjoy with your lunch and visit the canine cemetery, a must for dog lovers. By the way, I was only kidding about surfing the Rock, but you'll see the similarity with an ocean roller.

20 Miles Of At Least 98-foot-high Dunes.
Reviewed By apim - Sydney, Australia
A big stretch of sands offering multiple possibilities. You can just sit and relax, draw figures and sketches in the wet sand area with kids, hire and go on quad biking in the dunes, hire 'sun-board' and have the dry surfing fun or can just jump into the waters - the waves are enticing.
